"Thank you Mina. Tell me one more thing . Will he still fire me when he's back?" Lucy asked again and the lady shivered with fear. This only increased Lucy's interest in her mystery man. The edge to kill him was more drool worthy. She couldn't wait till the day she will call him an ass h*le while he dies. A crazy hot girl has gotten herself a cold ice to handle. This place might not be boring after all.
"A set of paper works are already on your desk. Finish it before five. We will close around four but you will stay to five". Mina said one last time and walked out. Stay till five. What the hell. Damn this wasn't an easy task. Lucy cried within and watched the paper works scattered on the table.
"What sought of business have this many papers? Metly, Shirley, Irene ;for fucking sake. What the hell have you trapped me into?" She sat down and begun to flip through the pages. The best show of boredom could be seen directly in her eyes. She inhaled deeply and begun to flip through all afresh but slowly. It spoke about real estates , software developing and hotels. Was this their kind of business? She continued to flip and saw some blank spaces which had to be filled. Luckily for her, the little years in college paid off and she was able to align them correctly . By the time she was done, it was 3hours past five and she didn't realise until she went out. Every office was locked and the lights were partially out. Taking her phone out, she watched the time and gasped loud.
" 8:32pm. I haven't even eaten " How was she to go home? Mr Henry personally told her that he wouldn't pick her because he was the boss driver. She sighed and went out with a debating mind. . What was she going to do. How was she to locate her apartment now.
"This is my card. Call me if you are having issues with July". These words were flashbacks of Lucy as she remembered the card in her purse.
She removed it from her left pocket and dialled continuously but he didn't respond. Lucy never gave up, she continued trying her luck .
..............................................................................
Meanwhile, Jason was on his way from meeting up with his brother , who was actually his cousin. He was glad Dylan finally made up with Urati( Dylan's girlfriend) . They both pressurized him to find a girl else he would end up marrying his work. He chuckled at their childish talk.
"Drive faster Henry. I'm exhausted" . He ushered from his lips and his driver obeyed accordingly. Suddenly, a loud noice echoed in the car making Jason to get startled.
"What was that?". His widened eyes asked and Henry took out a phone and showed him.
"I'm sure it's not an important call sir. All important contacts are saved". Henry tried to assure Jason but the phone kept ringing over and over again.
"Stop the car and answer the call. It might be urgent. No sensible person calls this way if there isn't an emergency" Jason ordered as Henry sighed and parked at a corner with his fingers tapping the answer and loud speaker button.
"Hello" Henry spoke with little anger but slightly expressed it.
"Mr Henry . It's me Lucssss. I mean Lu Asra Brunette. I just finished the boss paper work and found out it's night. I also don't know my way home. Please can you pick me up or give me a gps of the apartment so I can pick a cab". Her desperate voice was shaking. Jason was surprised at her job done. Those paper works were worth 10days completion and she claimed it was done. He meant to punish her with it yet it backfired. Is that even possible ? Maybe even though she gave a horrible first impression, she might not be bad after all.
"Ok Lu, I will send the gps. I'm currently riding the master home "
"You call him master. Jeez how rude is this Jason guy". Henry eyes widened at her words. He knew she wasn't aware of the phone being on loud speaker. He titled his head to watch his master frowning intensively. Oh boy!. She's definitely in trouble.
"Miss Brunette is it? You speak faster than you should" Anyone could sense his rich accent and aura . Lucy froze behind the phone with her hand clasped to her mouth. She quickly ended the call on him out of fear. She wondered why this strange aura and voice weakened her joints . She knew she had messed up . In few seconds, the gps beeped on her phone , making her to finally order a taxi. What was she going to do?
"I messed everything up just on the first day. " Lucy frustratedly thought to herself.
"Thank you" She handed a ten dollar bill to the driver and entered her apartment. Mrs July wasn't around. That was good. The lady looked in her thirties but she already reminded her of her mother. With Mrs July around, she knew the sad vibe will be around. The woman was funny, fierce and too neat just like her mama .
Without taking off her shoes, she landed herself on the bed to think. Her mission that evening was to come up with a plan of apologizing but seconds didn't pass by as Lucy snored loudly in bed. She forgot to even take her food .
.............................................................................
Outside the apartment main gate ,parked a black suspicious truck. "I found her ". A deep voice arose from the truck. A man in all black and a hat spoke on the phone as he kissed the gun in his hands.
"What are you waiting for then. I need her buried alive . You can receive your reward when I arrive in America".. A luring female voice spoke with daggers .
" The job will be done but we wouldn't attack now. We have to corner her somewhere out of suspicion. After all, you want her buried alive. It's not easy to prevent her from screaming that long. See you soon delicacy"He said again before silently driving out.
Yo yo yo people. I appreciate any support you give me but come on, share this book link to your fellow readers. Tell them it's kinda worth it. I would release more chapters in bulk if you can do that.
The day had already broken and this time, Lucy had woken up early due to an anxious and scary nightmare. She dreamt of being killed by the Ceo she has never seen before. She sat in the bathtub with dark circles painted around her eyes. The miserable state of art by which her impression described was good enough to be called a crying chipmunk. "Torture, pure torture".She said before taking her phone and dialling for France. "Hi this is Metly , the reason you are hearing this message is because I'm probably out slicing some balls or sleeping. But I will get back to you in a short time " She needed someone to talk to but this annoying best friend of hers wasn't available. Maybe Shirley would pick the call. She opened her contact to search for her number and called her. Funny enough ,she was on another call. Lucy wondered who she was talking to because she knew Shirley hated making calls. "What am I going to do now . Maybe I can call Mina or Mrs July. Maybe Mrs July ". Lucy dialled th
Lucy and Jason sat with blurry eyes, both feeling intoxicated. For the first time in his life, Jason stared at a woman with lust. Whatever reason why he was drawn towards her was unknown but he wanted to be close to her. He stood in the sexist way and pointed towards the dj. "Something matching my mood Steve" He said before walking towards Lucy. Slow beats mixed violin began to play as he wasted no time in asking for a dance. He had already pulled her up by grabbing her waist and smashing her chest on his rock muscles. " fascinating. You are hotter than I thought". Lucy slurred at the stranger who pierced her gaze. "Beautiful eyes, dance with me baby" Those were Jason's final words as they reached the dance floor. His hands crept down to her left legs and he raised it up to pull her more closer. That was when the actual musical lyrics began. "Put your head on my shoulder, Hold me in your arms, baby Squeeze me oh-so-tight Show me that you love me too Put your lips next to
"Master Jason at least take your antidote first ". Henry spoke respectfully again but the angered werewolf only stood with black liquid falling from its fangs. He just moved forward into the backyard garden and met his mother holding a rose. She wore a black dress with sharp edges on the neck clearly bringing out her sassy figure. She sensed his presence behind her and smiled. "Have waited a long time for you. I spoke with my associates an hour ago and learned that they visited you. What do you want us to do for you to join us". She turned to watch him . Jason growled dangerously while he pounded his foot claw on the ground to make an uneasy and threatening noises. He was hungry for blood and this was why he hated having this demonic side. It always wanted to kill and eat human flesh which his inner conscience prevented. "Stop holding back what you want. Just outside this house lies lots of humans walking deliciously on the street. Take a bite on one of them and see how calm yo
Lilith entered the second heavens with fury. If only her son just joins her. Regardless of being angry, she walked majestically into her black palace. " My lady, something troubles you" Matilda, a fellow witch , asked her with worry. " He didn't agree. What should I do with him. His just like his uncle Davil. All about work and conquering businesses ". Lilith gnashed her teeth as she spoke. She wasted no more time in going to her thrown. Since she was the head witch, also the ruler of the witches, she had her palace. Nevertheless, the main bosses were the princes of darkness. "Let me guess, your weak son refused your amazing offer. Such a pity on him. Tell me mother, why don't you order for his death and rather portray me as the future ruler". A lady wore a golden dress with her belt featuring a scorpion . "Say no more Clara . This palace already belongs to you. But I need your half breed brother to take over the throne in the higher division. There are a lot of misleading he c
" I will call you later OK. Duty calls ". Lucy waved at Metly . " sure thing babe. Remember you are loved ". Metly said teasing which made Lucy laugh. As soon as the call ended , Lucy yawned and went to bed. She didn't want to commit a mistake of not being punctual. She knew her job was at stake after gossiping to Henry on the phone. Ring Ring. Her alarm beeped at 5:00am . She rose up her body with her messy hair . Her eyes were forcing to push the tears back in. Lucy's laziness kept on fighting her but however, fear carried her into the bathroom. " Put your hands on my shoulder. Hold me in your alms ,baby. Kiss me LA LA LA " She sang and hummed that special night music. She couldn't deny the strange feeling within her belly but one thing was for a fact. " I didn't get butterflies for him" Her disgusted expression alarmed her because she hated men. Once out, she picked up a matching brown office ladies trouser and a nicely sewed top with equal material. "Damn I look hot. Oh
While Jason thought about business strategies, his office door opened slightly, distracting him. He raised his head to watch who entered without knocking but what came into his view, crushed his soul. "Hello I'm Asra Bru....." She didn't complete her sentence when she saw him. The handsome looking billionaire who shared an office with her, was her Jason. The only guy who respected and made her feel love until he left and she never saw him again. "Jason". Her voice was low and breaking but instead of embracing her, he frowned and turned around. Why did she name herself Asra?. Guilt filled him as he thought about that. Did her disgusting father do something to her that she was willing to work all the way from France to USA? No nevermind with that. He remembered her saying people applied the job for her. But why Lucy, why are you with a fake identity? Jason sighed and let out a breath. " So you are Asra Brunette?. Get seated , I have some business deals to discuss with you". He said
For three hours , they both focused on the computer, figuring out different strategies. "Have you figured something out Miss Brunette?". Jason asked with a cold voice, making her have heart to ache. "It's not like you will listen to me". She spat out at him. " Never in your life. I repeat. Never try to speak this way to me again. This is your first and let it also be your last. I won't hesitate to take you back to France". He warned her with a frowned face and her legs felt weak. She was more than speechless at his behavior. " Yes sir". She responded with gritting teeth . Even if he was different and rude, he was still the Jason she knew and she wanted to find out what happened to him. She wanted to know what turned him dark. "Now tell me. Have you modified your insignificant plan?". Again with the rudeness. She forcefully controlled her rising anger and nodded at him. "Yes sir. I made a few changes. This is what I think we should do. We have to make a contract of sharing the
She clicked on the computer to turn on the sleeping screen. Her lips were slightly apart as her finger directed the computer mouse to click on Jason's sent mail."OH MY ...... Wickedness". Her smile had already disappeared after she downloaded the PDF and realized it was hundred pages."Jason why me. Why me" . She asked herself , forcing to glare spiritually at him."Because you are his secretary . It's your duty to do according to what he says". A voice in her head said. It was wierd how her mind kept speaking to her."You can do this. just like you did the last taaassssssk .... Whaaaat_. Her words slurred and halted. These documents weren't just meeting schedules. They were the names of all business men and women who will attend the London conference. Their age , occupation, interest, Sch GPA and business types we're all listed . Did this mean she had to learn all this details about them."Do business men suffer this much. How
